Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (54.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Viiv Healthcare Company at 38.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $84,702 and has fallen 96.1% since, to $3,313 in 2025. Among infectious disease clinicians in PR with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
